  • Title: Spontaneous pneumothorax in primary cavitating lung carcinoma.
    Author: Laurens RG, Pine JR, Honig EG.
    Journal: Radiology; 1983 Feb; 146(2):295-7. PubMed ID: 6294734.
    Abstract:
    Primary cavitating lung carcinomas have not previously been described with spontaneous pneumothorax as the presenting manifestation. Two patients whose pneumothoraces resulted in the initial diagnosis of a primary cavitary lung carcinoma are described. Pathologic evidence of vascular invasion suggests tumor necrosis with secondary rupture into the pleural space as a likely mechanism for pneumothorax.
